Andaz Apna Apna and its many applications in life

It is absolutely mandatory for conversations between two friends over tea to steer towards drinking from the same cup. Because, “Ek pyali mein chai peene se pyaar badta hai.”

It is also mandatory for you to sledge your friend walking daintily holding her long, swishy skirt with a “Gogoji, aapka ghagra.”

Andaz Apna Apna had an andaz of its own — the unusually long feature film that brought Salman Khan and Aamir Khan together, that failed to rake in the moolah at the box office, but that managed to charm us over and over again, for the past 24 years.

The film particularly stood out for its ridiculousness, dripping from every dialogue ever spoken in the 2 hour, 40 minute film. Dialogues that we have absorbed, internalised and applied duly. Whatever curveball life may throw at you, Andaz Apna Apna has a dialogue to counter that.

Don’t believe us? Here’s our list of real-life situations and Andaz Apna Apna dialogues to get you past them:

When it’s month-end but you find yourself standing in the middle of Sarojini Nagar market...

... Aaya hun, kuchh toh leke jaunga.

When you’re hurt...

... Ui maa!

When you have singlehandedly landed an account after a successful client-meet, and you must report your achievements to your boss...

... Unka ek sawaal, humare do-do jawaab. Sawaal ek, jawab do.

And then, your boss’ response...

... Shabash, mere cheetey!!

But then, he already has your next assignment ready and asks for your confirmation, and you have no option but to say...

... Kuud kuud ke chalega.

You must still have the last word. Like this...

... Main toh kehta hun aap purush hi nahi hain, mahapurush hain, mahapurush.

He, of course, will throw his weight around..

... Crime Master Gogo naam hai mera, aankhen nikal ke gotiyan khelta hun.

And finally, you have to let him win...

... Suno suno duniya ke logon, sabse bada hai mister Gogo.

When breakfast is your favourite meal of the day...

... Bread ka badshash aur omlette ka raja - Bajaj - humara Bajaj!

When you make a mistake, and you’re an honest person, so you have to admit it...

... Galti se mistake ho gaya.

And the world appreciates your admission of guilt...

... Smart boy!
